# Dataset Card for ACL Anthology Corpus

[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-CC%20BY--NC%204.0-lightgrey.svg)](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/)

This repository provides full-text and metadata to the ACL anthology collection (80k articles/posters as of September 2022) also including .pdf files and grobid extractions of the pdfs.

## How is this different from what ACL anthology provides and what already exists?

- We provide pdfs, full-text, references and other details extracted by grobid from the PDFs while [ACL Anthology](https://aclanthology.org/anthology+abstracts.bib.gz) only provides abstracts.
- There exists a similar corpus call [ACL Anthology Network](https://clair.eecs.umich.edu/aan/about.php) but is now showing its age with just 23k papers from Dec 2016.
